Thumbs up What a difference new tyres make!

I have had my new moab XL's a week. They are on my TXT and i'm just amazed where my truck can go now. I had stock TXT before.

The steering is more responsive and I have 60mm of diff clearance. I had to alter the shock mounting positions to lower the truck because the ride height was lifted up so much. I might get some wheel widners as I lost 2" of width.

If I new how much difference it would make I would of done it ages ago.

Thanks to shorty40 for letting me borrowing his so I could see the light!

You may want to re-think getting wideners. Gaining steering response is most likely an effect of the tires being narrower. But if you put them on wideners, it'll take a bit more effort to turn them again, even with the smaller contact patch. Just something to think about.
